A first-rate thriller receives a superior adaptation.

If not the nazis, then I wud have definitely removed the fingernails of the hunter for failing to assassinate Hitler.

Sorry? You tried to shoot the greatest man the world has ever seen and you say you are sorry?

It was a sporting stalk. I'm sorry because you don't have the wit to understand.

I went to school in England. You say I don't understand English?

You understand English; you just don't understand Englishmen!

A Story of Nazi Appeasement

I first saw this on TV back in the mid 70&apos;s and it was definitely a story of the time, when WW2 was still in the forefront of many peoples minds. 

Maybe not to the more modern taste, I&apos;ve always enjoyed this film. It has a feel of the Thirty Nine Steps about it.

Just before the outbreak of WW2, Peter O&apos;Tooles character fails in his revenge assassination attempt on Hitler. With the help of a sympathetic German, and English sailors, he escapes back to Britain and has to go on the run from the British and Nazi authorities who are both after him to return to Germany to answer for his &quot;crime&quot;. He goes into hiding in the country, drawing on his hunting experience, and waits to the outbreak of war when his assassination attempt is looked on in a completely different light by the British, who now see him as a potential asset.
